Gala has some great guests and the format is focused and thoughtful.

All the charm and depth of an infomercial but with worse music. How big of a QT Stan does one have to be to listen to this drivel?

Gala has it made on her own! Great host with great guests!

As a filmmaker and film podcast fan I can definitely say this is one of the best film podcasts around.

Best film podcast for ANARCHO-CHRISTIAN . PS THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS ROGER

Let me first say I love the podcast! I’ve been a fan of Gala since my intro to Video Archives. She is a thoughtful interviewer and knows her stuff. But one guest got completely under my skin. Steven Meiers Dominguez was next level obnoxious. Besides the, “oh I want your life.” “Yeah I’ve heard that four times today.” And the desperate need to convince everyone how cool his taste is (taking shots at Speilberg, edgy) it was the waxing nostalgic about a time he didn’t experience. Sorry guy, if you grew up with the first web browsers then you didn’t actually grow up in the era you are wistfully recalling. I did grow up in that era, and as much as the younger generation likes to think there was a curmudgeonly hip dude behind every counter who would steer you in the right direction, that rarely happened. And I grew up in Chicago, a major metropolitan city with lots of record stores and video shops. What really happened was, you hunted those stores, but you also read zines or the Chicago Reader or some free magazine (Vice) that told you want was cool so you could go back to the store and not get ridiculed for your choices. The internet didn’t destroy that, it made it all substantially easier. There is much less “gatekeeping” in the world when you have an endless library of genres and stories to choose from. Just because some dude at Wax Tracks told you to listen to Joni Mitchell, doesn’t mean he wasn’t telling everyone else the same thing. I’ll take an algorithm over that any day. OK my rant is over, but I do love the show!

I truly find the format to this podcast to be refreshing and unique. Genuine conversations without a predetermined agenda. The pace and tone Gala maintains; makes the podcast feel like you are sitting at a table with friends immersed in privileged conversations.

Super interesting and love the short form interview.

The theme alone is worth the price of admission!

Great addition to my podcast rotation

The 30 minute time limit to discuss your passion is a great thing. It’s an easy listen to a fun discussion. If the rest are as good as this one, then that’s awesome. Keep it up.

Gala is a truly passionate host of a show that is about - and fueled by - passion. Which is the fuel for an engaged and properly enjoyed life. Thrilled to hear all of the episodes to come.
